RTF Example

Can anyone point me in the direction (Or mail me) an example of an rtf
control being used with an access database?

TIA

Dirk,

I also need a control (text box) that will accept formatted text that has
been copied/pasted from MS Word or other sources and then save it as
formatted in a field. I went to http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm and
looked, but have to clue how to implement what Lebans created. Are there
simple instructions somewhere that I am missing?

Thanks

I haven't done anything with that control but install it and see if it
works -- which it did for me.

Have you downloaded the zip file, unzipped it, and run the SETUP.EXE program
that was included? That would make the control available to you in
developing Access forms or reports. To put it on the design surface, click
the "More Controls..." button in the toolbox, then scroll down to "RTF2
Control", click it, then click on the form or report's design surface.
After that, adjust the properties of the control, including its
ControlSource property.

On the web page you cited, Stephen has instructions for actually working
with the control, including keystrokes to which the control responds, such
as Ctrl+V to paste rich text that you've copied to the clipboard.
